This article talked about different perspectives of bullying and what a student did about it.
It gives ideas about different approaches to bullying and what someone
should do. This article was very helpful because I was able to get a
different point of view on bullying as a whole. Teachers and schools are
trying to work together on preventing bullying, but it obviously is not
working. This article gives different ideas of how to handle and situation
if it may occur; or even preventing it to occur.

about what bullying is related to and why its more complicated than it
seems. One doesn't know what has gone on in the bullies life or why they
are doing it in the first place. This article was not as helpful as others
because it did not talk a lot about prevention but bullying and the trigger
point. It would of been helpful if I was doing a different topic instead of
school prevention.

really helpful. I learned that 30-80% of students report that they were
victims of bullying. With such a high percentage, schools should be doing
more. This article talked about what bullying is, why bullies mistreat
others, and how schools and teachers are helping to prevent bullying. They
are new ways a tactics that they are thinking about because it is still
occurring. Teachers and students need to step up together to prevent this
from going any further.

ta=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=eft&AN=77346817>. This study examined
the effects of a whole-school peer victimization prevention program (WITS
Primary Program). From Grades 1 to 3, on trajectories of child-reported
peer victimization, help-seeking, and teacher-reported social-emotional
adjustment from Grades 1 to 6. This experimental design followed 432
children in 11 program and 6 comparison public elementary schools over 6
years. There were significant and meaningful effects of the WITS Primary
Program on changes in physical victimization, relational victimization, and
social competence. Also, significant and small effects on physical
aggression and non-significant effects for help seeking and internalizing
during elementary school. Following the transition into middle school, the
program effects faded, with the exception of some subgroups in high-risk
contexts. This suggests that peer victimization prevention programming
implemented in early elementary school may need to be sustained to maintain
the early intervention that gains through the transition into middle
school. This was a helpful article because it talked about an experiment
they did in attempt to prevent bullying.

talks about teachers being role models for students. The author mentions
Ruth Sylvester's 2011 article titled "Teacher as
Bully: Knowingly or Unintentionally Harming Students" where she
observed that teachers unintentionally bully students through sarcasm,
rejection of late work, and opaque name calling. If teachers try to lead a
bully-free teaching style, students will learn from their teachers. This
article was helpful because it shows where some bullying can start;
watching teachers. But that is not the whole reason why students bully.
Teachers are there to help students out, so whenever there is a problem,
one should be able to go to their teacher.
